    @Iam_EcoBlitz @shestalks @JWantedL Apex comp is a joke between no fill bugs and constant server issues making the game unplayable. I won't argue about which game is more fun because that's subjective, but Apex is currently not at a state where it's fun for me to play. Overwatch multiplayer is at least *functional*

  • Joshen69 Joshen (@Joshen69) reported

    @emfoura no problem m4ra overwatch

  • runglikeido call me a failure (@runglikeido) reported

    Nayatel is an absolute disappointment. Not that other ISPs in this country aren't. There are known issues of packet loss surfacing for the past 3 weeks in Pakistan with the likes of Roblox, Discord, Overwatch and other titles.

  • Herewearenow17 Jamie DB (@Herewearenow17) reported

    @Uweseelersson @Ra_mi34 Police overwatch crowd control / looking for trouble makers

  • axl99 Jessie Lam _(:3 」∠ ) (@axl99) reported

    Experiencing a weird keyboard/input lag drifting when I play Overwatch, it's slightly more consistent now. Wonder if it's internet rubberbanding because that's annoying to deal with

  • StroberryPastry pastry 💖 etsy shop open! (@StroberryPastry) reported

    Me in valorant: whiffing and lagging and getting punished for moving while shooting Me in overwatch: HAHAHAHA I GO PEW PEW PEW PEW

  • mchammerdudee mc hamma (@mchammerdudee) reported

    @ForHonorGame i have a clip of 4 guys doing this warden glitch on overwatch, first of all , why is this a thing. second of all, i would like to send you a clip so you guys can actually take action about this. really annoying to play the full 20 min of a game when i’m not doing anything

  • HughPalmer9 Hugh Palmer (@HughPalmer9) reported

    @LochieSiegert @FMCANZ There’s been heaps of atrazine + Overwatch go out together. There has been a few people get in touch with filter issues but we seem to be solving them by slowing down the mixing and avoiding batching them together.

  • Christo86008594 Chris (@Christo86008594) reported

    @SonySupportUSA I’ve been having this issue with my ps4 where my games load perfectly fine, but whenever I get into like a match in fortnite or overwatch it just stays loading need help ASAP

  • AiaKuKu Aiaku (@AiaKuKu) reported

    Home Sweet Home is broken so switching to #Overwatch 🤔

  • LordeIsA10 J A Y D E N ❤️🔸 (@LordeIsA10) reported

    @heluvkenz @BrxdanHHT overwatch lag was the worst

  • crisperstorm Crisperstorm (@crisperstorm) reported

    @EsportsIan RIP mercy, the only character my best friend played and they just had to nerf her like 50 times in a row Overwatch really has a problem with nerfing characters and then adding in characters with broken mechanics at the same time

  • FullMetalBoxers FMB plays games sometimes (@FullMetalBoxers) reported

    @JarekCyphus I mean, I get the concept. It's MOBA/Overwatch style skillsets mashed with that same "just one more try..." formula that makes BR games catchy. My issue isn't with the game itself, but rather the experience. I hardly even got to *play*, let alone use my character's abilities.

  • Archus_Kanzaki アルカズ (@Archus_Kanzaki) reported

    @shitpostbotmin Ah yeah, I remember I reinstall overwatch sometimes and try to play something and cannot find a match. I thought its region problem (I am on SEA)

  • 4chanluvr Lixue! (@4chanluvr) reported

    anyone else having terrible lag issues on overwatch? my wifi is normally fine but maybe it could be me idk

  • MNBombaSquad94 Mamba Mentality (@MNBombaSquad94) reported

    First dose of the vaccine today....feeling..... Error code V26-71b Internal system regeneration complete. Welcome to governmental overwatch #Vaccine

  • CM1Tz Bobby Shmurda's hat (@CM1Tz) reported

    I can't play valorant anymore. hitreg is so ******* *** in that game. No idea if its my internet or anything else. but i have no hitreg issues in csgo or overwatch. so i have no ******* clue

  • ObnoxtiousPanda Locochameleon (っ◔◡◔)っ (@ObnoxtiousPanda) reported

    @CeeshyPlayz @TheMacroShow Its not so much its dead, the problem is its boring, if they add crosssave to ow then all would be well, but no lie, I spent alot of time and money on overwatch (happy to do so may I add) but all my effort on ps4 means nothing on Pc, where I would be playing it if I could

  • OhHeyFlappie Flappie (@OhHeyFlappie) reported

    @NoxxiS__ i want to try overwatch stuff maybe too for fun. but I enjoy doing fortnite, but I have so much trouble w lighting

  • Adamayday Adam (@Adamayday) reported

    @runglikeido same here iv been having the same problem on Overwatch and Discord, voice chats dont work and discord keeps turnin me into a robot...

  • Guntank081 🇵🇷🏳️‍🌈 Guntank #BLM (@Guntank081) reported

    @Capconian A lot of people blame Jeff Kaplan for everything related to overwatch because he was the face of the game, he would address many issues he even spoke to defend the Chinese player who made the Hong Kong remark last year, and was mostly against Blizzard corporate moves.

  • memimoose memimoose (@memimoose) reported

    @Hypo_Thermick I wouldn’t say overwatch or Fortnite are dead they still constantly get new players and have strong communities. I see Tf2 outliving them if the bot problem is fixed though.

  • BeccaaFaye Becca Faye ✨HIATUS✨ (@BeccaaFaye) reported

    just played a game of overwatch where someone was using a hack that made everyone lag super badly & then when they were losing they "closed the server due to an error" which put us in another hero select for a different map, and if you tried to leave you just got stuck. very fun

  • lagtowin Lag (@lagtowin) reported

    @mudjuggaming that would fix 99% of the game but bungie is too proud of their creation to remove it as a whole. i remember overwatch had some broken characters come out and they removed then entirely and took the hit

  • Jayblack5723 Noah (@Jayblack5723) reported

    @ZHONGLlTWT I think the fact that one person can throw off the balance of a game is a huge problem for overwatch tbh

  • glitchbunny2 loverboy (@glitchbunny2) reported

    I’ve been losing a lot of overwatch and I’m starting to think I’m the problem

  • THEValidPoint Valid Point (@THEValidPoint) reported

    @myflintv @Kikijiki_ As a console player, I know that we arent as bad as what people say, but playing vs KBM incredibly infuriating. And if my only options for ranked are to play vs PC players or not play, chances are, im not playing. Have the same huge problem with KBM on overwatch.

    @viollous Hey I don’t really play overwatch. But Dva is broken rn

  • ThatLemonEater LemonEater (@ThatLemonEater) reported

    Overwatch is a great game the problem is you have to play with other people. Other players are just ew
